Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry won't be attending the Tokyo Olympics with Team USA.

Lowry has declined an invitation to be a member of the 12-player U.S. roster because of his impending free agency, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

The 35-year-old floor general is expected to be one of the summer's most coveted free agents after averaging 17.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 39.6% from 3-point range for Toronto this season.

The U.S. Olympic roster is beginning to take form following commitments from several NBA stars. Bam Adebayo, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, James Harden, Jrue Holiday, Damian Lillard, Kevin Love, Khris Middleton, and Jayson Tatum have all reportedly agreed to join the team.
